PGSM BIO

Minako Aino is a very famous Japanese pop music idol. Usagi, Naru, and Ami love her music, which includes the hits "C'est la Vie" and "Katagoshi ni Kinsei," found on her album "Venus." However, she is also Sailor V, a Sailor Guardian who fought before the other Guardians were awoken. She fights youma and criminals before the other senshi are awoken. Sailor V appears first in Act 01, fighting against Tuxedo Kamen when he is stealing jewels from a local jewelry store (undoubtedly searching for the Maboroshi no Ginzuishou). When she finds out that Sailor Moon is interested in Tuxedo Kamen, she warns the young girl to stay away from him. In Act 12, Sailor V reveals herself as Princess Sailor Venus, dressed as Sailor Venus wearing a tiara. She says that her tiara contains the legendary Maboroshi no Ginzuishou. This is a disguise, and effectively draws attention away from Sailor Moon, the true princess. When Sailor Moon is revealed as Princess Serenity, it is discovered that Sailor Venus was only acting as a decoy. Much like the other girls, Minako is very independent, and prefers to work alone as Sailor V and Sailor Venus. This may be because she has a terminal illness, and Artemis has told her not to get too close to anyone because something will happen to her in six months. As Sailor Venus, she is very determined. Her only priority is to defeat the youma, with no regard for her own wellbeing.

PGSM TRANSFORMATIONS AND ATTACKS
(click thumbnails for full size images)

Venus Power, Make Up! Sailor Venus's transformation, which first appears in Act 17. Her wrist brooch begins to glow, and she glides her hand over her face. She then jumps into the air and begins to spin around as her starts forming. She stops spinning and makes several different poses as more parts of her fuku appear. She then tosses her hair and it changes to long, blond hair, half pulled back. She poses and makes her introductory speech.
Beam Attack Sailor Venus's first attack, which appears in Act 12. It has no verbal attack command, so there is no formal name for it. She curls her two middle fingers and thumb on each hand and brings them to her lips, kissing them. She then extends both arms, and slowly brings them together. She brings up her back arm while extending her front arm to shoot a beam of energy at her opponent.
Venus Love Me Chain Sailor Venus's second attack, which appears in Act 18. She grabs her chain and waves it around her body. She spins with the chain while yelling her attack phrase, then pulls the chain behind her to allow it to grow larger. She then creates a "V" sign with her hand and uses the chain to attack her opponent.
Moonlight Attractive Attack An attack performed by all of the Guardians together in Act 28. Sailor Moon holds up her Moon Stick, while Sailor Jupiter, Venus, Mars, and Mercury hold up their Star Tambourines. Their power comes together to form an attack.

PGSM ITEMS

	Bracelet A wrist transformation brooch worn by Minako Aino which first appears in Act 12. It is not like the wrist transformation brooches worn by Sailor Mars, Sailor Mercury, and Sailor Jupiter.
	Moon Compact A crescent moon compact that Sailor V holds while attacking. It first appears in Act 01. Princess Sailor Venus also uses this item.
	Crown Karaoke Passport A card carried by Minako Aino which permits her to access a secret room in Crown Karaoke. Although we do not see this item, she must have it because she has access to the secret room.
	Tiara Princess Sailor Venus wears a tiara which appears first in Act 12. It was rumoured that the crystal in the middle was actually the Maboroshi no Ginzuishou, so it was the target of many Dark Kingdom attacks.
	Chain The chain that Sailor Venus wears around her waist. It is used in her "Venus Love Me Chain" in Act 12.
